Ketamine therapy is a treatment that can speed the brain's natural healing process and relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD and PTSD. Ketamine operates on the brain’s N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors helping to restore neuropathways and grow new synapses in areas of the brain affected by mood disorders. The treatment can also clear excess cortisol and help reset the brain.
Ketamine appeals to individuals with treatment resistant depression and those who have not improved with talk therapy alone. The combination of the medicine, therapeutic support and access to the subconscious mind, allows for significant growth and healing.
Combining empathetic care with clinical expertise in a safe space, you will be guided through a healing journey. The mind expanding properties of Ketamine allows some individuals to distance themselves from feelings of depression and fear, while others experience a mystical-like journey that opens limitless possibilities. Following a session, patients report increased creativeness and calm, as well as clarity of thought.
Ketamine has been used as an anesthetic for over 50 years. Recent studies show Ketamine Therapy is effective for treating and major depression, fibromyalgia, PTSD, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and anxiety.
